New instructor spotlight — Tyler Schrock
The Software Development team at Green River College is pleased to introduce our new full-time instructor, Tyler Schrock.
Tyler holds a Bachelor of Arts in Computer Science from Malone University, a Master of Business Administration from Waynesburg University, and has more than a decade of programming and web development experience. This fall, he’ll be teaching IT 102 Programming Fundamentals, IT 206 Front End Web Development, and IT 378 Software Career Prep. Welcome, Tyler!
Tell us about your new job title and what led you to apply to Green River.
TYLER: I am a Software Development Instructor, part of the larger Software Development Department at Green River. I taught similar courses at several colleges in Northeast Ohio and am excited to experience life on the West Coast! I was looking for a medium-sized school with a growing programming/software engineering department and was happy to find Green River during that search.
What excites you most about your new position?
TYLER: The courses I most enjoy are often introductory courses, where we navigate brand new topics and I get to help students connect some dots and understand how/why concepts and practices work together. These types of courses are my favorite to lead. Outside of the classroom, I am excited to to work alongside Ken Hang and the rest of the department as well as connecting with Green River students.
Can you tell us a fun fact about yourself?
TYLER: When I’m not in the classroom, I’m often playing disc golf (frisbee golf). I have recently traveled to several competitive events, including professional tournaments in Phoenix, Boston and Salt Lake City.
